By Master David Lin

Master Lin returns once again in Volume 2 of the Combat Shuai-Chiao video series to share new insights into the world of Combat Shuai-Chiao.

Master Lin then shows you the 24 shadow practice forms of Combat Shuai-Chiao as taught to him by the late Grandmaster Ch'ang Tung-sheng. Each one of these shadow practice forms is accompanied by possible combat applications, shown on an opponent in full speed, and then again in slow motion with careful commentary to further your learning ability. With a constant eye on combat functionality, Master Lin shares a variety of rarely seen sweeps, strikes, throws, and locks with you. As a special feature, Master James Lin demonstrates General Ma Liang's 24 forms for comparative and historical purposes.

This is an important aspect of Combat Shuai Chiao training and theory. During ancient times, Shuai Chiao tournaments lacked safety rules, So when opponents met in competition, More sadistic fighters would try to harm their opponents. While modern tournament rules protect fighters from most of these injuries, It is still in the Shuai Chiao students best interests to understand these situations and know how to use these techniques in self defense.

Locks can be used offensively or defensively. This skill not only allow the practitioner to avoid and escape dangerous holds in tournaments, but also allows one to use locks to control an attacker in a street confrontation. As a martial artist knowledge of locking techniques is a must.
